Hull City hope to conclude their first signing of the transfer window inside the next 24 hours after agreeing a deal to land Bournemouth winger Marc Pugh.

The 31-year-old is undergoing a medical with the Tigers today and, barring any complications, will join City’s push for promotion to the Premier League on loan for the rest of the season.

Head coach Nigel Adkins has made it clear he wants to sign three new players ahead of the deadline next week, including a winger that would add cover and competition for star men Kamil Grosicki and Jarrod Bowen.

Pugh has been told he is allowed to leave Bournemouth this month after only featuring in Carabao Cup and FA Cup ties and City have offered the chance for a fresh start in East Yorkshire.

The experienced winger has been with the Cherries since 2010, racking up over 300 appearances and winning promotions out of League One and the Championship.
